Bella

My story

Meet Bella, a five-year-old feline with a heart as golden as her years. Her sweet and friendly demeanor makes her a joy to be around. She has a playful side, often seen frolicking with a catnip toy. However, Bella also has a shy side that adds to her charm. Independence is her second nature, but she loves to share her sleeping space with a human companion. A stroke of a brush is her idea of purr-fect happiness. Adopt Bella and experience the unique bond of love and companionship she offers.  Bella is FIV+. If you don't know what FIV is, it stands for feline immunodeficiency virus and typically causes a weakening of the cat’s immune system... only cats can get FIV, people and dogs cannot.   The most common route of infection is a deep bite wound from an FIV+ cat to another cat... they can live with other non FIV + cats- sharing food/litter/water without transmitting the disease onto other cats.    FIV  isn't a big deal... unfortunately many FIV+ cats are overlooked in shelters because people see this and think it's a terrible disease and the cats won't live long... However FIV+ cats can live long healthy lives just like other cats! There is no medication to treat an FIV+ positive cat. Bella is also part of the Take A Chance On Me Program. This means her adoption fee has been reduced  for the right home. If you are interested in adopting, applications can be found on our website www.ahimsahaven.org.    Meet and greets are with an approved application by appointment only.   As always, cats that are ready to be adopted are spayed/neutered, have age appropriate shots, are micro-chipped, dewormed/deflead, and FEL/FIV tested.July 30, 2025, 3:48 pm
